Let's suppose you had this dream where you relished the fray, and to make a long story short found yerself in a lifeboat with room for 3 CDs and three only. The collected works of the Hip are already in the lifeboat emergency supplies -- any decent lifeboat should have them -- so we're talking non-Hip CDs. What three CDs do you grab?
There are rules:
-- no box sets. Well, maybe for live stuff ... but no collected works.
-- it ain't about what's best, just about what you like this week.
-- the flotsam and jetsam of the wreck includes only one copy of each, so if someone takes your choice, ya gotta choose something else. That should get us more interesting answers. In that spirit, I'll let a few others go first....
-- there are no wrong answers. No, wait a second, there are: anyone choosing Ashlee Simpson will be declared an Australian and fed to the sharks.
Ready ... set ... swim, baby, swim!

Mine...
Who - Who's Next
Stone Temple Pilots - Core
Led Zeppelin - IV
:thumb:
1) the Doors-LA Woman
2) Led Zeppelin-mmm...would have to be a mixed cd that I made, I cant limit myself to one album, plus two of my faves are already taken.
3) Metallica-Black Album
Radiohead - OK Computer
Pearl Jam - Yield
Metallica - Justice
Was going to go with some Strokes or Interpol but those albums are too short. If I only get 3 I want them to be as long as possible. I think Justice is almost and hour with only 9 songs.

sweet choice.
I forgot -- no mixed CDs. Ignorance of the rules is no excuse. LizardKing, you're shark bait. And Opiated, Shamu takes your left arm for failing to read the instructions carefully.
The idea for this comes from a radio appearance by the Hip in '89 where the interviewer posed a similar question. Just for interest, here's their picks of 15 years ago:
Gord S: Exile on Main Street, Never Mind the Bollocks, "the Clash's first album" (did he mean the UK release of The Clash?).
Robby: Layla and Other Love Songs, Blow by Blow, Sticky Fingers
Paul: Exile on Main Street, Infidels (Dylan)
Johnny: Diamond Dogs (Bowie), The Last Waltz, and Dr. Feelgood by Motley Crue .... no comment ....
Gord D: Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out, Free Live (Free, I guess), Tim (The Replacements)
I like Paul's choice, as it was my first Dylan album. Now I gotta think about my choices....
Ben Folds Five - Whatever and Ever Amen
Sloan - Twice Removed
Foo Fighters - One By One
This one's actually pretty easy:
Hmmm wow tough choices, I suppose I'll have to get stranded on a different island each week to sample all my discs
But my choices are:
Joe Satriani, Steve Vai and Eric Johnson- G3 Live in Concert
Queensryche-Operation Mindcrime
Sarah Mclachlan-Rarities, B-Sides and others
